With law you mean "rules written on a piece of paper"?

Since it's common to conflate the concepts of "law" and "rules" and even Wikipedia is confused so I think I should clarify:

Quote from: wikipedia

Law is a term which does not have a universally accepted definition,[2] but one definition is that law is a system of rules and guidelines which are enforced through social institutions to govern behavior.[3] Laws are made by governments, specifically by their legislatures.

That's more or less what I mean by law. The part of it being enforced by a social institution and made by government is the crucial one.

People love rules, they always make up new ones. What I dislike is the idea of a single set of rules being enforced on everybody. I'd like to see a multitude of systems. I find it fair to assume that this might lead to better and more workable rules. You seldom get high quality with a monopoly and rules are no exception.

There is no law beyond do what thou wilt.
